UEFA Youth League report: Ajax 0 Chelsea 1
23 Oct 2019
Chelsea Under-19s collected our first three points in the UEFA Youth
League this season as a goal inside two minutes proved the difference in a
well-matched and hard-fought contest in Amsterdam.

Billed as a significant game in the group following just one point
collected in our opening two matches beforehand, Andy Myers's side got the
dream opening they were looking for when Thierno Ballo headed in a corner
with just seconds on the clock.
The remaining 88 minutes were tight and tense, with Ajax pushing and the
Blues aware that any mistake could prove fatal. Our defensive endeavours
were impressive, focused and resilient up against the group leaders.
Goalkeeper Karlo Ziger was largely protected but did his job well when
called upon, while Marc Guehi marshalled the back-line with experience
that belied his years.
Substitute Tino Anjorin went closest to adding a second but one was
ultimately enough for the two-time winners to claim the points at De
Toekomst and leave the group wide open at the midway stage, with Ajax and
Lille on six points, Chelsea on four and Valencia one.
Myers made five changes from our last outing on the continent, a 2-0
reverse in France against Lille, with two of those enforced as Billy
Gilmour was involved with the senior squad ahead of the evening's
Champions League action and Ian Maatsen at the Under-17 World Cup with the
Netherlands.

That assignment for the Dutch youngsters had a far greater impact on the
Ajax team selection, with seven players who have played for them in the
Youth League this season included in the national team squad heading to
Brazil.
It was the perfect start for the young Blues in the Dutch capital as Ballo
headed us in front with just 103 seconds on the clock. George McEachran
acted as provider from a right-sided corner, with five visiting players
lined up in a row in the box waiting for the delivery, though it was the
Austrian attacking midfield man who snuck in at the near post to plant a
firm header into the net for his first Youth League goal.

Celebrations for the only goal of the game
Ajax responded well to that early setback and skipper Marc Guehi was
forced into some smart defending to cut out Tunahan Tasci's dangerous
cross from the left, while Damjan Dostanic spurned a decent sight at goal
from inside the box moments later.
Tariq Lamptey was also called into rearguard work to thwart a well-worked
attack down the left, which appeared to be the home side's preferred route
of advancement, with Christian Rasmussen the man denied.
Down the other end, another set-piece almost proved the undoing of the
Dutchmen again as McEachran once more stepped over a dead-ball situation.
The 19-year-old clipped a lovely pass into the box for Guehi to collect in
space at the back post but our recent senior debutant took a while to get
the ball under his control and Daan Reiziger, the Ajax goalkeeper, was
able to close the angle to make the save.

Guehi was denied our second by a save from the keeper
The first half was generally cagey, with our early goal providing
something to defend and hold, setting the tone for Ajax to have much of
the play. Terrence Douglas fired harmlessly wide and Guehi got in the way
of Quinten Timber's strike as we capably restricted the danger around
Ziger's goal.
It was a pattern of play that continued after the restart, although
opportunities were far more limited as the hosts lacked the invention or
execution to unlock our defence. It took until the 68th minute for the
first notable opening of the second period to arrive, though Rasmussen
again spurned the rare sight at goal by slicing his shot off-target.
Ziger was then called into action to deny half-time substitute Max de Waal
following a promising move down the inside-right channel, with our
Croatian keeper reacting well at his near post to push the striker's
effort behind.
The stakes were rising with every minute of remaining time that ticked
past, though Myers's ability to introduce Anjorin was a useful outlet and
the midfielder sent a shot whistling narrowly wide with 12 minutes
remaining.

Substitute Tino Anjorin went close late on
Ajax's last chance came in added time after McEachran was guilty of
conceding a free-kick 20 yards out but De Waal brought only a simple save
from Ziger and with that the points were secured.
Next up for the Under-19s is a role reversal as we host the Dutchmen at
Cobham in a fortnight.

UEFA Youth League reaction: Winning when we needed to win
24 Oct 2019
It was not just Frank Lampard celebrating an important win for his young
side in Amsterdam on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, just across the road from the Johan Cruyff Arena at
the distinguished Ajax Academy, our Under-19s battled hard to claim three
points over their Dutch counterparts in the UEFA Youth League.
The victory was significant as the young Blues had just one point on the
board coming into the contest, with qualification for the knockout round
starting to slip away from them.
Thierno Ballo's header from a corner routine inside two minutes was enough
to settle the group game and boss Andy Myers reflected afterwards on an
impressive defensive performance just lacking a more ruthless streak in
attack that would have cemented a more comfortable final scoreline.
'Based on the previous two games, we knew that we needed a win,' he told
the official Chelsea website. 'We were spot-on defensively and it was just
at times in the final third that our technical consistency wasn't there
when we needed that killer pass to put the game to bed.
'We had opportunities to do well on the counter-attack but just let
ourselves down a little with a lack of quality. The overall reflection is
we've come away to Ajax and won, which not many teams will do, in a game
we needed to win, especially with Lille beating Valencia in the other
game.'
The matchday three results in Group H of the Youth League leave Myers's
men third, trailing Ajax and Lille by two points. He still feels our
defeat in France and 3-3 draw with the Spaniards at Cobham were harsh
results on the balance of play in both games, although more positive signs
in the Dutch capital were pleasing.
'We came away from those games disappointed because we knew we should have
put both teams away,' he continued. 'Against Valencia, we had clear-cut
chances in the first half to win and at Lille we dominated so much
possession and gave away two goals, which was poor.
'There were aspects of our game today [against Ajax] at the back that were
really good and aspects going forward on the break that were pleasing,
apart from the execution of our final ball.'

Ballo celebrates his winning goal in Amsterdam
Myers praised the set-piece work of his coaching staff, which came off
with the only goal of the game, as well as the grit of his players to dig
in for the remaining 88 minutes to secure the points.
'Jon Harley and Eric Ramsey [assistant coaches] have ownership of the
set-plays so credit to them,' added Myers. 'Ballo came in at the near post
with a great header and then, when you score that early away from home,
you've got to make sure you're ready for the rest of the game.
'It's not an easy place to come to do that but we really did well
defensively. As much as they had a lot of possession, we nullified them to
just one shot on our goal and Karlo Ziger did well to save that.'
Next up is a rematch with Ajax at Cobham in a fortnight. Before then, our
development squad head to Everton in Premier League 2 this Saturday 26
October.
